Tasty BBQ Tofu Sandwich
This BBQ tofu sandwich is crispy, juicy, and bursting with flavor. I marinated extra-firm tofu in Caribbean ‘green seasoning’, cooked the tofu in an air fryer to perfection and then slathered them in a mouth watering BBQ sauce.

Notes
How to make green seasoning
- Gather all ingredients (celery, parsley, scallion, onion, garlic, pimento berries, scotch bonnet pepper) and add them to a blender or food processor.
- Add the onion to the base of the blender along with 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Blend until there is a somewhat uniform color and texture.
- You can store your green seasoning in a glass jar for up to a week in the refrigerator and up to a month in the freezer. If you are storing them in the freezer, I recommend freezing them in an ice cube tray and then once solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe container.
